    "im on h4 dependent visa bank has sent me separately w8ben form . . . "---As you can seee, H4 visa holders are not permitted to work in US.The Form W-8BEN is a form filed by non-resident aliens receiving a fellowship, scholarship, or stipend, to claim tax status. It will be your responsibility to inform your employer with whom you have an employment relationship what your tax status is. In general, a Non Resident Alien,I gues you are, is subjected to US Tax withholding of 30% on his/her US Source Income. So, If you, as a non-resident alien, receive income other than wages, then you should file Form W-8BEN with the withholding agent toclaim a reduced rate of, or exception from, withholding under an Income Tax Treaty.
